Hey there,

here are some picture of some last changes:

The Spear Militia unit have now an Awl-Pike which fits much more in our time frame ;)

Right now everythings seems quite well for a release on next Saturday, so we hope for the best :D
The only two things which need to be done are, a new general battle model for the Hungarians and the unit info cards for the rebels :)

Signoria of Bologna

Leader: Giovanni II. Bentivoglio

The city of Bologna commands the highways between northern and southern Italy, which made it one of the wealthiest cities in whole Italy. But not only that, the city accommodates the oldest university of the known world and thus is a center for scholarship in Europe. Though as for all larger Italian communities, Bologna is also cursed by factions and internal struggles. Along with the families of the Pepoli, Malvezzi and Gozzadini, the Bentivoglio were able to establish themselves as sole ruler over city during the 15th century.

Giovanni II., the current head of the family and former Condottiere in the service of Florence, is ruling Bologna with an iron fist, all opposition to his rule is whipped out ruthlessly. However many well-known artists are gathering at his court and he is already considered one of the greatest builder of Italy. If the Bentivogli want to keep ruling their beloved city, they have to match the approaching events, also because the other families are eagerly awaiting their chance to overthrow them.

Margraviate of Montferrat

Leader: Boniface III Palaeologus

As of 1493, the Margraviate of Montferrat stands on the precipice of two dramatic changes. On the one hand the elderly marquess, Boniface III, is withered by age and soon to die. On the other, the Margraviate stands directly in the path of the impending French invasion of Italy. Diplomacy must be key to Montferrat's strategy if it is to survive these changes. The pro-French policies of Boniface and his heir William have staved off French aggression at the price of French interference, at least to this point. The marquess' niece Blanche currently rules Savoy as regent for her son Duke Charles II, ensuring peace from the west. But the infant is sickly, and Savoy may soon fall out of the control of Boniface's family. Alliances can collapse rapidly in the claustrophobic atmosphere of northern Italy. But what other choices does Montferrat have? To the north-east, Milan is rich, powerful, and intractably hostile to France and her allies - Montferrat among them. To the south, Genoa is sympathetic to France; it may make a useful ally, at least in the short term. One thing is clear: the elderly marquess may boast all he likes of the strength of the Casale wine-trade and his noble descent from the Byzantine emperors, but he must now select a side to take. France, or Milan? Montferrat must make the choice quickly, but can ill afford to get it wrong.

Strength: Descendants from the Byzantine Emperors Weakness: In a dangerous position
